As Grahamstown’s need for accommodation has increased the City has had to find new places to develop.
Oatlands North, which is situated on the northern side of Oatlands proper, looks down over Grahamstown and has some lovely views to the West One gets some amazingly lovely sunsets and the higher properties can enjoy a bird’s eye view of the occasional thunderstorm over the city.
The houses in Oatlands North are all built post 1960 and Kingswood College sold off a large slice of land. Large developments were undertaken where one can find luxury accommodation, as in the case of Kingsview Estate, or 2 bedroom duplexes, Kings Gardens. It doesn’t end there as there is Kings Manor and now Kings Terrace all of which provide slightly different accommodation. Kings Gardens is primarily populated by Rhodes students who mostly seem very happy there.
Oatlands North boasts the town’s Hindu temple and many of our Indian residents live close to the temple. It has a large selection of freehold properties from conservative 3 bedroom starter homes to luxurious mansions.
Oatlands North is on the doorstep of Graham College and very close to Kingswood College.
Fortunately, in Grahamstown one can walk into town without too much effort from most locations. Oatlands North is situated approximately 3 kilometres out of town.
